Indeed. But of course, I’m behind Cruz! Thank you for your insights, dearest sister in Christ!
I am not a party voter. I am not an issues voter. I am a character voter. And my sense of Cruz is that he definitely measures up.
However, I also like Marco Rubio, Scott Walker, and Ben Carson. I think they measure up, too. Of these four men (I'm including Cruz here), only one has executive experience (Gov. Walker); two are freshman senators (like the last time — ouch!!!); and one has never held public office of any kind (Dr. Carson).
It's too early to see how this all turns out — there are just so many candidates. (Certain of whom I wish would just "go away" — e.g., Jeb Bush, Mike Huckabee, Donald Trump. That's not to say I'm not a great admirer of Gov. Huckabee. I am.)
I have mixed feelings about Rand Paul, but could vote for him if he wins the nomination. I really like Carly Fiorina, and hope she runs. I don't think she can be elected president, but might be a fine choice for Veep. Where I think she can be particularly valuable is on the debate circuit. As a woman, she can speak of HRC in frank terms and get away with it in a way that no man can.
It'll be interesting!!! Get out the popcorn....
